How do you figure which to raise? For example,more points in Dex, or raise your bow and arrow skill? Any thoughts?

Certain skills (i.e. light weapon, light armor) only need to be raised to the threshold needed to remove penalties it appears. I've seen no difference in damage between Light Weapon Skill 7 and Light Weapon skill 10.

While other skills (nether, arcane, etc) the higher you have them the more effective your magic is. This also applies to thieving abilities, the higher the better.

I've noticed this as well. I got my archery up to 5, and it did as much damage with my bow as when it was at 1. So, I changed to throwing since the damage was higher for the currently available weapon. That's another thing I'd like to see fixed.
